My trusty mouse of about 2 years now, my Logitech mouse is starting to go funky on me. I have my mouse speed on high, and at times, it goes to the medium setting, and doesn't move at all.

I don't know what model it is, but from what it looks like, its a Logitech G7 Mouse. I don't know what to do, and its getting annoying. In fact, it just happened a second ago when I tried to click on Post Reply.

Does it use its own power (id est a battery)?

Does it use its own power (id est a battery)?

It uses a battery that is charged in the comp. 2 actually, so while I'm using 1, the other 1 is charging.

It isn't the battery tho, because I've made the switch about half an hour ago, and its still happening.

The battery itself might be going, or you might need to clean the optical lens.

Go buy a new one, cheapskate.

Yep it's time for a new mouse. Your G7 is old and worn out. I keep my mice for 2 years tops

I've kept some going for three-four years, but, yeah, it might simply be time to buy another one.

I hate the new logitech drivers, during install it wants to install all kinds of datamining/spyware and toolbars, what the **** is that. Just unprofessional if you ask me, and 1 time out of 10 the control applet just fails load on startup. It also autoinstalls in the task bar.

 

Certain programs are task bar worthy, and others are just not, I don't want 20 things down there giving me stress and popping up update windows.

 

Get one with a cord, cordless is for laptops they can't compete at all when it comes to gaming, I still have a microsoft optical I bought over 6 years ago, opticals usually last forever, if the resolution is decent you won't need to buy another one untill the buttons break or get so loaded up with gunk they stick to their contact points.

sadly, one sometimes just has to buy a new mouse.

Well, since I'm going to the second(third?) Biggest city in IL. on Friday, maybe I can get one. (Rockford)

Know any wireless mouses I can get for about 20$?

It has to be its getting old.

Get a proper cord mouse

20$ no - this is what I use fwiiw. It's great - even in BioShock fwiiw!

Same here. Darn best mouse I ever had

 

All 5 buttons still working flawlessly. No cordless stuff for me either, it isn't worth the hassle.

You might want to get a standard Microsoft optical mouse - I think they run about $15.

Get a new moose.

Well, its been happening less and less, so I hope the problem eventually fades to nothing-ness. It probably was the lens, because my mouse pad was dirty around the time it went hay-wire. I cleaned it, and the problem is almost gone.

Get the Razer Lachesis; 10x better than my G7 was. And the cord is so tiny and thin that you can't even feel it
